I have no prior experience working with batch files or shell scripting in general. I need to understand the operations being carried out by a batch file used in a related project. Any resource that gives exhaustive list of batch file commands and what each one does?

Once you get acquainted with the general .BAT file information, using some of the pointers to useful information that other users have posted in the other answers, you might try some of the following strategies that help you understand and analyze the BAT files used int your projects:
add an
ECHOcommand in front of all command invocationsread
HELP commandfor each command line in the BAT fileexecute at the command prompt each command line in the BAT file
remove the
@echo offat the top of the .BAT file, and see how the BAT progressesadd some
PAUSEs to keep viewing some commands on screen before they disappear.
